Research

Jennifer’s project focuses on understanding the role of tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism as the principle mediator of inflammation-driven neuropsychiatric behavioral symptoms in mice, including depressive/anxiety-like behavior and cognitive dysfunction. She is also interested in exploring the translational relevance of this metabolic pathway in Alzheimer’s disease.
